Firestorm at Z's....

Then don't go, but the obsessive whining about it on this forum is unseemly and unprofessional on the part of all involved.

There is a part of me that agrees, wholeheartedly, with the idea, "quit whining, get over it, go forward from here."
There is a greater part of me that put so much of myself into what is "there", that I don't want to "get over it, and go forward". In many ways it's like selling the house, and leaving the layout, trains and all, . . . . no it's more like having the house taken, sold out from under me, and being forced to leave the trains behind.
Sometimes, we just need to talk things through, and dump "the baggage" those things are part of, before we can begin the "going forward". Sometimes we simply have to have the time and, perhaps more importantly, the place to mourn the loss.
We are your "flawed, and feeling friends", forgive us our humanity.
